Supercomputer predicts the result of Crystal Palace vs Chelsea clash

Crystal Palace are set to host Chelsea in the upcoming Premier League clash on Monday, February 12 at Selhurst Park Stadium.

The Blues head into a challenging away fixture where they are seen as having a slight advantage with a 40.4% chance of victory compared to Palace's 30.4%, as per Opta's Supercomputer.

Mauricio Pochettino's side secured a morale-boosting win against Villa in their FA Cup fourth-round replay, aiming to bounce back from recent league setbacks.

Notably, they have dominated this fixture historically, boasting 12 consecutive victories in the league against Palace – the longest winning streak for the Eagles' most consecutive Premier League defeats against any opponent.

Roy Hodgson faces challenges with injuries to key players Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, with his side losing four out of six league matches this season without these creative forces in the starting XI.

Despite the West Londoners' advantage, the supercomputer suggests a degree of caution, recognizing Palace's recent form at home where they have won both of their last two league games, scoring three goals in each. With a 29.2% chance of a draw, neither set of supporters can expect a significant boost to their league position from this outcome.
